The verdict

n8n wins, 8.8 to 5.6

n8n reaches 1,000 five-step runs for $25.92 a month, a little less than TaskMagic's $29 a month. n8n can be self-hosted and ships a dedicated Evaluations feature to test agent output; TaskMagic offers neither self-hosting nor agent evaluation. TaskMagic keeps run history for 365 days by default, far past n8n's 7 on its entry paid plan, and TaskMagic's AI features unlock bring-your-own-API-key only from its $119 Business plan, where n8n allows it more broadly.

Pick n8n if you need self-hosting and built-in agent evaluation.

Pick TaskMagic if you want a full year of kept run history.
